Path of light

Chapter 475 476. Transaction

Alvin comes from Qiyan Province, the southernmost province of the Green Empire in the Roland continent. Their caravan set out from Qiyan Seaport and bypassed the wild swamp land, instead of going to the Alliance Kingdom of Aetia like other caravans, they headed north all the way. The frozen sea is the dwarf country in the northwest corner of the Roland continent.

In fact, the trade exchanges between the Green Empire and the dwarf kingdom have lasted for thousands of years, and the dwarves here have always been the staunchest allies of the empire.

The people of the Green Empire like to use the fine iron ingots smelted by the dwarves to build equipment. Therefore, many business groups will purchase large quantities of fine iron ingots from the dwarf kingdom, transport them back to the Green Empire and sell them to blacksmith workshops. The mining and forging technology of the dwarf kingdom More advanced than the Empire.

This time, Darwin's caravan sold a large amount of silk fabrics in the dwarf kingdom, and purchased magical machinery such as a floating device, a magic furnace, an ore grinder, and an ore refining device. It is said that most of these magic machines were left over from the goblin civilization period. Design drawings, only the dwarves have truly mastered the manufacturing technology.

Originally, Darwin's caravan wanted to take advantage of the midsummer season to cross the frozen sea, arrive at Xinghai City in Sloit Province, the northernmost part of the Green Empire, and then go all the way south from Xinghai City back to Qiyan Harbor. In this way, the journey happened to go around Roland. The continent sailed in a large circle.

But just when I was in the dwarf kingdom, I heard that the plane war in the Green Empire had spread to the southern provinces. The most surprising news was that this time the Holy Legion of the Temple of Liberty voluntarily withdrew from the Imperial Alliance, and all the combat priests and Priests will not participate in plane wars, which directly causes the Green Empire's Constructed Knights to be at a disadvantage in plane wars.

At this time, the dark forces of the Abyss are invading all planes...

During this period, the empire's planes rich in magical herbs were in flames of war.

Almost overnight, the price of magic potions in the Green Empire increased several times.

Although this incident was an unprecedented disaster for the Green Empire's army, it was an unprecedented business opportunity for the Green Empire's businessmen.

In any business, as long as you can seize the opportunity, you have a high chance of making money.

Darwin immediately decided to sail across the Endless Sea to the Elf Continent to purchase magic herbs and potions.

Darwin knew very well that elves like beautiful things, so he also carried a large number of handicrafts, oil paintings, artistic gold and silver vessels, and of course a large number of magic crystals.

This time, magic herbs were purchased in Castletown City. These handicrafts, oil paintings, and gold and silver vessels have all been exchanged for magic crystals.

Yesterday, Darwin had reached an agreement with Woods and Claire, and this transaction would be settled using magic crystals.

Before the transaction, Darwin, an outstanding businessman, casually promoted the goods on their ship to the three of them. Roy was curious about the magic airship, so he asked about it.

Seeing that Roy seemed to be very interested in floating devices, Darwin said to the three of them:

"Would you like to go to the cabin and see the flotation device? It happens to be in the bottom of this ship!"

Woods and Creel looked at Roy.

Roy nodded decisively and said, "Okay."

This five-masted sailing ship was much larger than Roy's Black Pearl, and the ship's bottom compartment was also very large. However, the air inside was not circulating. After entering the bottom compartment, everyone felt a little stuffy. Several human crew members quickly opened it. The ventilation window on the ship felt much better at this time.

There were many big things in the bottom cabin, almost all covered with tarpaulins, and large wooden boxes stacked on top of each other, with some hay placed between these wooden boxes.

At the signal of businessman Darwin, the four crew members worked together to lift a large wooden box to the door, and then used a crowbar to open the wooden box. Inside the wooden box was a floating device that looked like an aircraft engine. The metal frame and many parts are plated with a layer of mithril, and many complex magic runes are engraved on it.

"Is this a floating device?" Roy looked at this brand-new floating device curiously and asked Darwin.

"The brand new Hummingbird No. 5 can lift twenty tons of cargo when running at full capacity, but it burns magic crystal very much when it is running." Darwin introduced proudly.

Roy felt that he touched the frame of the flotation device and it felt cold to the touch. It should be forged from metal.

"How much does it cost to buy a flotation device?" Roy asked curiously.

"Two hundred magic crystals, this is the price we bought them from the dwarves. Now we are passing them on to you. We don't intend to make any money from you. We just want to make friends and open up business routes." Businessman Darwin said very boldly. .

Roy curled his lips secretly. He didn't believe that businessman Darwin would sell this floating device to him without making a penny.

But Roy then thought about it and it seemed that it would not be impossible to buy a few floating devices...

He pointed at the large pile of goods covered with tarpaulin and asked curiously: "What's over there?"

"The new type of magic furnace, the latest type of magic furnace from the dwarf magic forging workshop." Darwin said casually: "In order to transport this big guy to the ship, the ship was almost dismantled in Tanton Port..."

The four crew members lifted the tarpaulin covering the magic furnace, and a large furnace came into Roy's sight.

If Roy hadn't come into contact with this kind of magical equipment in the Mithril Mine, he would have never been impressed by such a set of black and oily iron cans. But now he saw this big thing that was nearly three meters tall, with his eyes wide open. The mouth never closed again.

This was much larger than the magic furnace that Claire helped him find in Castletown, and the whole furnace was filled with the smell of grease. It was obvious at first glance that it was a brand new magic machine.

Moreover, Roy owns several mines on the Pagisto Plateau. If many abandoned mines want to return to normal operation, magic furnaces are indispensable.

Seeing the way Roy looked at the magic furnace, Darwin immediately concluded that Roy had a certain understanding of this magic machine, and immediately followed him to introduce the characteristics of this magic furnace to Roy.

Later, he recommended to Roy the ore grinder and the ore refining device, two magic machines that are commonly used in mines, and Roy showed great interest in them.

Seeing these large magic machines crowded in the cabin, Roy hesitated again, because due to limited transportation capacity, he was not sure whether he could transport these magic machines to the Pagisto Plateau.

Then, Roy asked Darwin: "How many flotation devices do you have in your hand?"

"Sixteen units originally planned to build a magic airship after returning to Qiyan City." Businessman Darwin hesitated and said.

"Okay, I want all these floating devices!" Roy said cheerfully.

"I see that you are also quite interested in the Magic Forge. Why don't you give it some thought?" Darwin tried to sell it.

"It's too heavy. My mine is in a remote location. There's no way to transport these big things up there for the time being..." Roy felt a little regretful.

Darwin glanced at the wooden boxes containing the flotation devices and smiled.

"If you didn't buy the flotation device, maybe this would be a problem, but now that you have bought the flotation device, transporting these large magic machines is not a problem... So you can use the flotation device to lift the magic furnace , as long as there are a few horses pulling in front, even if you want to pull this big guy to the top of the mountain, it won’t be a problem!”

Roy's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Darwin say this.

Using a floating device to transport large magical machinery to the plateau is indeed a way...

Roy walked to the magic furnace and rubbed the magic runes on the metal surface with his fingers. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the structure of the magic furnace.

Only then did Darwin realize one thing. In addition to buying a large amount of magic herbs, he actually also bought some metal ingots.

It goes without saying that these guys may still have mines in their hands.

Then the promotion would have to be more forceful, so Darwin focused on introducing the function of the ore refining device.

"This is an ore refining device. Its main function is to extract excess impurities from low-quality ore. This can greatly improve the utilization rate of the ore..." Darwin chattered endlessly.

"This grinder is also very good..."

"Then take it all."

Roy agreed casually.

For a moment, businessman Darwin didn't even react. He froze on the spot, then stared at Roy and asked cautiously:

"Are you saying you plan to buy all these magical machines?"

"That's right, please calculate again how many magic crystals are needed to buy them all..." Roy said happily.

Darwin licked his lips, but he didn't expect that he was just a little impulsive and sold all the big iron blocks at the bottom of the ballast bilge after two more sales...

Unexpectedly, Roy bought a magic floating device, a magic furnace, an ore grinder and an ore refining device one after another.

After some negotiation, the two parties finally decided to barter. After calculation, Roy actually spent more than 50,000 magic crystals in one go and got 130,000 magic crystals.

Darwin also asked a group of crew members to work together to pull these big machines out of the bottom cabin. This was not an easy task, and almost all the sailors on the seven ships were used.

Soon, the transaction was over.

Roy waited for the crew to unload the magical machinery he bought onto the dock.

In fact, there are very secret slide rails in the bilges of seagoing ships, and there are also very secret doors on the side of the bilges. It took nearly a hundred young crew members to work together to drag the magic furnace out of the cabin.

As the magic furnace was transported to the dock, the ore grinding machine and refining device behind it were also transported out.

Businessman Darwin has been accompanying Roy. When he saw that Roy looked like a human, he talked about the customs and customs of the Green Empire and suggested that Roy should visit the Green Empire and take a look when he had time.

Roy was very curious about the food in the Green Empire. Hearing Darwin say that everyone mainly eats a kind of wheat cake, Roy had some expectations.

He had long since grown tired of eating fruit and grilled fish in Castletown.

Unconsciously, the two started talking about the Temple of Liberty. Darwin told Roy that there was a Temple of Liberty in almost every city in the Green Empire, and almost all people in the empire believed in the Statue of Liberty.

The Green Empire's area is probably larger than the entire Elf Kingdom. The Green Empire also has a teleportation hall where you can teleport from one city to another. The only drawback is that the teleportation fee is very expensive.

In addition, there are magic airships that connect every city in the Green Empire, and those airport towers are a scenic spot in the city...

After seeing the transaction, all the magic equipment was moved to the port terminal, but 130,000 magic crystals still flowed into Roy's pocket. After Darwin thought about it, he continued to sell it to Roy.

"These are machines carefully made by dwarf craftsmen. Do you need a printing magic loom?"

Roy shook his head.

He had mines but no textile mills...

Magic loom, tsk tsk, Roy was not interested at all, so he asked curiously:

"How long did it take you to cross the endless sea?"

"If it's just the Endless Sea, if you have a smooth journey, you can actually pass through this sea area in about eight months. In fact, there is not only the Endless Sea between our two continents, but also the Twin Seas and the Seven Seas... ..." Darwin introduced to Roy.

When talking about this maritime trade route, Darwin naturally talked about it with gusto, and he could tell a lot of anecdotes about the sea casually.

He seemed to have said something about everything, but he did not point out the sea route to Roy...

In the eyes of businessman Darwin, those gray dwarf bandits are the least popular bandits. They have the courage to operate on the west coast of the Endless Sea.

In the evening, Roy would take the Silver Pegasus Legion's supply ship to leave Castletown and rush to Partington Island.

So Claire was asked to rent a warehouse near the dock and move all the goods to the warehouse at the dock. There was no need to transport these magic machines to Padstow City for the time being. These valuable goods still existed in Cass for the time being. The city is safer.

Moreover, Roy is not on the Pagisto Plateau, so there is no way to distribute these magic machines.

Everything will have to wait until he comes back from the Queen Egwene Islands.

In addition, the alchemy workshop here in Castletown City is also facing the problem of shutdown soon, and Woods has to go to Padstow City to transport a batch of goods back.

…

Roy took Miss Woods and Tiffany onto the supply ship. Woods would disembark at Partington Island and arrive at Padstow City through the portal.

Roy took Miss Tiffany to the Key West Islands...

After boarding the medium-sized sailboat, Miss Tiffany showed a touch of pride on her face and kept waving downwards.

Moira looked at Sabrina reluctantly. She also wanted to go to Key West, but unfortunately Sabrina stopped her.

Claire also waved goodbye to Roy on the dock, and was a little disappointed that he couldn't talk to Roy about music.

This supply ship was loaded with various supplies at Castletown Port, and then it sailed away from the port and headed towards Partington Island...

…
